Blizzard looking into console version of Diablo

There's a demand out there to see the Diablo series make an appearance on consoles once again (you remember the old PlayStation Diablo from 1998, right?) and if you're wondering when that'll happen, the day may not be far off. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime revealed the company is looking into how Diablo could be handled on consoles.

Before you get excited over the possibility of seeing Diablo III on your Xbox 360 or PS3, Blizzard has a few issues to solve before they can go on with the project. These issues range from patching the game in a timely manner to adding expansions. Morhaime does admit that Diablo would be the easiest game to port out of all the Blizzard franchises out there so have a little hope.

We think Blizzard might take a good look at Xbox LIVE Arcade version of Torchlightsince it plays very similarly to Diablo. If Runic Games can pull off the feat, Blizzard should have no problem doing it themselves.
